Bachelor of General Studies (Open Learning) at Thompson Rivers University

Programme overview

The Bachelor of General Studies is the most flexible program we offer. It accepts a high degree of PLAR (prior learning assessment and recognition) and transfer credit, making it ideal for those who have taken a non-linear path to education or have extensive work experience. You actually create your own program, as long as you meet the program requirements.
